7. 0KBD-SFTCFG STARTUP
To start the KBD-SFTCFG from the Windows
®
START
menu, select Programs | IntuiKey | IntuiKey
Configuration Software. The KBD-SFTCFG always
starts in an empty state; i.e., with no IntuiKey
Configuration (.int) files opened for editing:
The KBD-SFTCFG can support a maximum of 16 .int
files open at once. Each file contains the following:
•One or more language tables
• An optional path to an Allegiant server (.alg) file
•A selection of a PC COM port (for RS-232
communication with the keyboard)
To create a new IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file, select
File | New. A dialog will appear with a list of options:
The options shown in the list are the various language
table templates that can be loaded into the program.
For reference purposes, the default templates are named
based on the languages they contain. The name also
includes a number at the end that corresponds to the
compatible version of the IntuiKey firmware. Language
tables can only be downloaded into keyboards that
contain compatible firmware, so it is important to select
the correct template. See APPENDIX D for more
information.
Whenever a KBD-SFTCFG file is saved, it is
recommended that the associated keyboard firmware
version be included at the end of its file name. The
IntuiKey firmware version number associated with an
open configuration document is displayed in the Status
Bar. The firmware version number of an IntuiKey
keyboard is displayed in its left LCD screen when the
device is first powered up.
8.0 KBD-SFTCFG VIEWS
The KBD-SFTCFG’s main screen is divided into two
views. The left pane contains a tree control that allows
a user to index through a set of language tables (and
their main subsections). The right pane displays a form
that corresponds to the subsection of the currently
selected language table.
8.1 Tree Control (Left Pane)
The tree’s root node is labeled Language Tables. The
root node’s immediate subnodes (language table nodes)
represent the language tables contained in the IntuiKey
Configuration (.int) file (e.g.: 1 – English).
A language table is associated with one of the font
tables shown in APPENDIX A. The font table number of
the currently selected language table is displayed in the
program’s Status Bar.
Each language table node has four immediate subnodes
which represent its major subdivisions. They are labeled
as follows: Miscellaneous Strings, Error Messages,
User Functions, and Softkey Menus.
The Softkey Menus node has several subnodes which
represent the language table’s softkey menus. Softkey
menu nodes have labels that generally describe the
collective functionality of their 14 softkeys
(e.g., 31 – Camera Functions).
If a tree node represents a portion of a language
table’s contents, then selecting it will cause those
contents to be displayed in a form in the
KBD-SFTCFG’s right pane.
